Founded in 1973, Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School is a co-ed school as St. Augustine's Seminary decided to utilize extra classroom space as a result of its own declining student enrollment. The school was named after John Henry Newman, a 19th-century English convert to Catholicism and prolific author who is currently in the process of beatification. Located on a magnificent 18 hectare campus, Newman overlooks a broad vista that contains both the Scarborough Bluffs and Lake Ontario. 4 acres are board-owned.

Newman at one time was the only Non-uniformed Catholic High School in Metro Toronto. This was changed beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s so as to conform with other local Catholic High Schools.
